[CUBE] To fan or not to fan, that is the question

"Looks like this one. It's blue with a variable dial you dangle out the  
core. The website is done with Frames so no URLs to individual pages  
are available. Stupid Frames. So here's copy from the two top  
candidates. Click on FANS and download the PDF files. They are same  
price. I'd go for the manually adjustable one KPV. The KPE only has a  
sensor but no manual adjustment.

    80x80x25mm KPV

VERAX thermo-controlled chassis fan with manually adjustable fan-speed.
The Verax 80x80mm fan 80KPV was developed for the cooling and aeration  
of PC-housings and offers a variable potentiometer to regulate the  
individual rpm and temperature demand of a housing. Depending on the  
demand for cooling performance, the air flow can be regulated to  
minimize noise.

Variable temperature/rpm control with potentiometer 
Standard-80 mm fan fitting dimensions
No motor noise due to 3-phase - DC-motor with external commutation
Long life span with two quality bal bearings
All materials UL-V0 proof

         80x80x25mm KPE

The Verax 80x80mm fan 80KPE was developed for the cooling of  
PC-housings. The fan is equipped with a temperature sensor  
(NTC-resistor).

External temperature-control

No motor noise due to 3-phase - DC-motor with electronic commutation

All materials are UL-V0 proof

I think the V is higher end."

I want to do a review of the better of these two fans for Cube  
Upgrades. Since they are the same price which one do you think is the  
most flexible for a Cube application? Here's another market for you and  
Verax. My choice would be thermo sensor and manual dial both in one. Do  
either of these have that?
